Hooray for you for thinking it up and making it happen! My order is in at Island Books, but please let us know if you’re short of your goal and I’ll put together a package to mail. I also hope your mum will take lots of photos of you and the kids and their new books while you’re at the orphanage. Books will take them on journeys to places they never knew existed. Words are magic.

Jamie just called Island Books and placed an order. Tell us one thing: do you think you’ll have a chance to read to the kids from Baobab House? If so, will you promise to report back on what that was like – what books did they like, and what were their reactions? One of my all time favorite quotes is by Jorge Luis Borges, ““I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” With your Boy Scout Eagle project, you’re giving kids a glimpse into that…magical and grand!
